Radish Mint Raita

I won’t even explain why it’s taken me so long to share this simple post, but you should enjoy this raita while you can still get fresh radishes and mint! I’ll write more stories about raita another time.

I was so excited when I had bought the first bunch of radishes this spring, that I came home and shot this polaroid!

My method:
1. Toss the radish in salt & cumin, and set aside.
2. Break the lumps of yogurt and beat until it is more like a thick sauce.
3. Add everything and toss. Taste and adjust the salt.
4. Serve right away or refrigerate until serving.

I used to hate radish…wouldn't go anywhere near it!! That ended when my husband made muli raita one day…his recipe is similar with some differences; he grates his radish, adds green chillis and red chilli powder, dhania-jeera powder and kothmir. One spoonful, and I've been hooked ever since. Have to try it with mint instead of coriander. Love the photos as always!
